Crap. 'Manager' decided to have a go at me for something I didn't do, then said boss got upset when I stood up for myself, and took me to office for a word. Still gave them both barrels. Why can't they get their facts straight BEFORE making accusations? Oh wait, that would be sensible.

Busy day all round. Sent out to deliver some parcels while someone threw my walk off. Got back, finished off throwing off. Went out and delivered then went in the callers office until late. Nightmare that was. Hardly any training and couldn't find some of the stuff. The number of cards that were really badly written out was unreal. Ah well that enough of a rant for 1 day.

Just finished my round and got home. Last two loops we did we were getting snow!
18 tracked. 14 S/F's and piles of packets .Usual Thursday mail, or should that be "Turd-day" as it's always crappy!
Oh yeah and yet more mail from the local council, along with loads more green/white and brown envelopes for the locals [benefits etc]
Glad it's my day off tomorrow!

Same as me then.. [my last post]
Am now looking out the window, at home, and the snow is coming down thick and fast.. so much for a "few flakes" according to the weatherman this morning. Glad we got finished early and it's my day off tomorrow. So no going out in that!
Unless this is a sign of things to come and this is gonna be our "summer" as well! [So much for Spring!]
